Notable Additions

(BugFix) – New version downloads don’t stall at 100% anymore (but obviously you will still have to manually update until you are running THIS version)

(Enhancement) – Added setting to reformat game title case when displayed in the library. Options – no change, Title (Camel) Case, All Caps

(Enhancement) – Context menu option to delete ROM(s) from disk – currently only ROM games that are either uncompressed, or are the only ROM file within a zip file (disc-based games and 7zipped ROMs not supported)

(UI) – Re-styled the games library favourite ‘tick box’ so that it no longer looks terrible

(Enhancement) – Implemented SevenZipSharp library in place of SharpCompress. This gives better speed when dealing with/importing games within 7zip archives.

(BugFix) – ROMs within archives files now have their hash detected correctly

(Enhancement) – Multiple ROMs within archive files can now reside in nested subfolders within the archive itself

(Enhancement) – DAT lookup database (AsniDAT.db) now contains CRC32 and SHA1 hashes (along with MD5 that it had previously) – this reduces import/scan time for ROMs within archives

(Enhancement) – Major disc-scanning improvements, just point MedLaunch at the root folder for that system (psx, saturn etc.), and it will parse and import all games (and create .m3u files if they are needed). With multi-disc games, all the files for the game must be in the same folder or subfolder

(BugFix) – Fixed issue in DevBuild where mednafen update wasnt extracting all the files from the downloaded archive

Important Release Notes (0.5.8.x Major Branch)

This release brings compatibility with the new Mednafen 0.9.46. Aside from that it is primarily a bugfix release with a number of UI modifications.

****

EDIT: There is an issue with downloading and auto-updating MedLaunch and Mednafen in both this release and the previous 0.5.7.2 release (the download progress just sits at 100% and you have to quit the application). Until you have the upcoming release installed, you will have to manually unzip the MedLaunch releases over your existing MedLaunch directory.

Notable Additions

(BugFix) – Fixed issue with ROMs inside zip files not launching correctly (ROMs will need a rescan for fix to take effect)

(BugFix) – Removed ‘-wswan.rotateinput’ command that was causing more recent versions of Mednafen to not launch wswan games

(BugFix) – Fixed issue with SBI file import for m3u games

(BugFix) – Cancel button on scanning and scraping dialogs now works correctly

(Enhancement) – All separate disparate DAT files have been combined into a smaller, fast SQLite DB

Important Release Notes (0.5.7.x Major Branch)

This release introduces a number of bugfixes that can be seen below. It has also done away with all the separate DAT and json files that were being used to identify games on import. The now reside in a SQLite database that is shipped with release.

In order for the new DATDB and bugfixes to come into play, please rescan your ROMs and DISCs before raising any issues.

There is also (still) an official MedLaunch mednafen server running in the UK. More details can be found here: http://node.asnitech.co.uk/ and the server is automatically listed in the server browser within MedLaunch.
